Months after buying these Ronal Turbos, I finally got them installed today on the 4KSQT. Running 205/50/15 (they fit but it's real close at full lock).

On the 85 DD I run a 205 60 15 on a 15x7 et37 Speedline, they rubbed in the back so a small roll to front lips of the rear fenders, and the die grinder action on the rear lips, the fronts rub ever so slightly on the upper front lips at full compression, I was able to add spacing to the fenders by changing the plastic fender splash guard mounting points on the inner body points. That's a 24.6" tire with a 8.5" section width with 7" of tread on the road surface... Oh I have late model coupe springs installed that probably helps in front, but loaded down with 4 people, and gear no rubbing in back at all.... I would like a set of turbos for my 84 kq also though, I need to keep looking or hope that Ronal re-pops them in 4x108 ! :o

Exactly, they are the perfect look for that style of car. Very nice!

The Audi 80 GLE Works car gave me the inspiration for the Turbos

These wheels are fantastic. For months I was looking for them, but it's hard to find them in 4x108. I really love them!

Very cool. I dont think I've ever seen a 4kq with turbos on it. Time for some coilovers to give it a slammed ride height :wink:

Actually I'm running 2Bennett coilovers already. It's dropped 1.5" over stock already.
